Russia will review the Dutch court's decision in the MH17 flight accident case.

TASS - Moscow will review a Dutch court's decision in the case of the 2014 Boeing crash in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy spokesman Ivan Nechayev said at a press conference on Thursday.

"We will analyze this decision because, with regard to all these issues, every nuance is important," he said. "We will be ready to comment after examining this legal document," Nechayev added.

Earlier on Thursday, a Dutch court began hearing the case of the MH17 crash, saying the Boeing had been shot down by a Buk missile fired near the settlement of Pervomayskoye, which at the time was controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) militia.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in the Donetsk region of Ukraine on July 17, 2014, killing 298 people from ten countries. In June 2019, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) announced it had identified a group of four people suspected of involvement in the incident. They are the former militia leader in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Igor Girkin, also known as Igor Strelkov, and his subordinates Sergey Dubinsky, Oleg Pulatov, and Leonid Kharchenko. Their trial began in the Netherlands on March 9, 2020. They are accused of delivering a Buk missile system from Russia to Ukraine. The trial is taking place in the defendant's absence, with two Dutch lawyers representing Pulatov's interests. The prosecution is seeking life imprisonment for all defendants. The lawyers are also seeking material compensation for the victims' relatives. Russian authorities have repeatedly expressed their lack of confidence in the findings of the JIT's work and pointed to the lack of foundation for the accusations, as well as the unwillingness to use Moscow's conclusions during the investigation.
